Honoring the thousands of Native Americans who served in various U.S. Military branches and better educating the public are the goals of the proposed National Native American Veterans Memorial. The project is being overseen by Kevin Gover, director of the Smithsonian Institute's National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI). The memorial will be erected by Veterans Day in 2019. A design for the memorial will be selected by a juried competition. The Memorial will be located prominently on the NMAI's grounds on the National Mall, between the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum and the U.S. Capitol.
